"Perk"

Two years ago a young reporter was sent to interview me. She said then that it was seldom she was sent to cover a positive news story. Yesterday as I walked to Cross City a car pulled off into the grass and an excited woman ran to me asking if I remembered her, of coarse I did, she was the AP journalist I had met two years prior. Her story went viral for a day and news organizations around the world used her "feel good" feature. She was on her way, a six hour drive, to report on "another sad story" in Alabama. We spent a few moments "catching up", glad to see each other again marveling at our random reunion. We parted smiling, perky!
Until next time!
